Bahrain Authorities Rearrest Pardoned Detainees
Original: Bahrain: Authorities Rearrest Pardoned Detainees
Human Rights Watch reports that Bahraini authorities have rearrested detainees who had previously been pardoned and released. The development raises concerns about the independence of Bahrain's royal pardons and the treatment of political prisoners in the kingdom. Rights groups have repeatedly criticised Bahrain for prosecuting dissidents, and the rearrests are likely to draw international scrutiny of the government's commitments to human rights reform.
Why now: Human Rights Watch has just published findings that pardoned detainees in Bahrain are being detained again, reigniting concern over the kingdom's human rights record.
